Great news. This is fitting for a Noitamina show and can easily be adapted at least to one cour. And the amount of time for production 2016 gives them enough time to make this look good. I hope it can pull it off.

Awesome news! This manga is so exciting that after reading the first volume I decided to just buy the rest as they come out and only read them later when I have it complete. I probably won't check out the anime for the same reason, but it's great to see this getting the attention it deserves.

The manga's synopsis makes it sound generic, the synopsis at MAL explains a little better the general idea of the manga, IMO

synopsis wrote:
Struggling manga author Satoru Fujinuma is beset by his fear to express himself. However, he has a supernatural ability of being forced to prevent deaths and catastrophes by being sent back in time before the incident occurred, repeating time until the accident is prevented. One day, he gets involved in an accident that has him framed as a murderer. Desperate to save the victim, he sends himself back in time only to find himself as a grade-schooler, one month before fellow classmate Kayo Hinadzuki went missing. Satoru now embarks on a new quest: to save Kayo and solve the mystery behind her disappearance.

Wau! This manga is a constant nomination on the Taisho Manga and I have a friend who really really recommends this manga and I am interested on it but he warned me not to watch it until it's finished if I'm not patient because I would be biting my nails waiting for the next one. But as an animated form and given the reputation I'll trust they can do a consistent adaptation, the team is the same as Silver Spoon and they exactly did that with each cour. Definitely checking it out.

This is probably my #1 pick for a title I'd like to see licensed in English, so I'm trying not to shout with excitement. It's hard to talk about this show without spoiling anything, but fans of Monster will probably like this grim mystery/thriller-ish story. I want this to have an awesome soundtrack SO badly, I'm really looking forward to it.

Amazing news. This is currently my favourite supernatural mystery series. The series hasn't lost its edge even up til the latest chapter.

Thanks. Now it sounds much more interesting than just a mangaka with supernatural ability. Actually I've never heard of this title before, but the plot sounds promising. Can't wait to watch this.

So that's why the visuals make him him look so young. Could be good, definitely interesting. At least this gives the protagonist a legit reason to stalk the heroine.

I always thought that this manga would translate better as a jdrama series but I can't complain and I'm actually excited about the news. Nice choice, now I can't wait for January.
